Theres not much to say about metric that hasnt been said and to be honest Im not sure how to approach this post but one thing I do know is that they have been on blast on my iTunes for the past week. So why not add them to the Music Monday roster?

The uniquely powerful vocals of Emily Haines have been pushing Metric to the top of the charts since 1999 and there has been no turning back since.

As soon as I heard the MSTRKRFT remix of Monster hospital I immediately fell in love with Metric. Yeah I know that Metric isn’t really one of those bands that most dudes say they love but sometimes you just can’t deny it.

METRIC – MONSTER HOSPITAL (MSTRKRFT REMIX)

The band officially became “Metric” back in 1999 while Emily Haines and James Shaw (Guitarist) where sharing an apartment in NY with future members of: THE YEAH YEAH YEAHS, TV ON THE RADIO and the LIARS. Originally, James Shaw used the term Metric to describe the musical precision of Emily’s vocals and a the beat off of his synthesizer. The Haines, Shaw duo went over to the UK in 2000 to work on a few projects together for a couple years and eventually they made their way stateside to continue working on getting Metric out to the masses. Shortly there after,  Metric would gain two more band members Josh Winstead (Basist) and Joules Scott-Keyand they would be formed into Metric we know today.

Recently Metric has been touring the world to promote their new FANTASIES album and each show has been bigger than the next.
